Product Information
Full details
The New Balance 9060 Trainers are designed for active children who prioritize both a bold, modern aesthetic and everyday comfort. This versatile footwear shrinks down the iconic, high-fashion 9060 silhouette to a kids' size range, ensuring that younger wearers enjoy the same premium design language and layered construction as adult models. While the striking, exaggerated midsole offers excellent visual appeal and support, the complex layered upper may require more frequent cleaning to keep the black and grey colorway looking pristine.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the 9060 provides good support, it is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual trainer rather than a high-performance running shoe.
How do I determine the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK children's sizing. We recommend measuring the child's foot while they are standing to ensure the best fit.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the internal insoles are generally removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if necessary.
Is the material waterproof?
The materials used are not waterproof; it is recommended to apply a protective spray designed for suede and mesh to help repel water and stains.
Does this model come in other colors?
The current variant features a black and grey colorway, which provides a neutral and versatile look for all genders.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoes due to the layered design
Loosen the laces significantly before inserting the foot to allow the gusseted tongue and upper structure to expand.
Scuff marks on the midsole
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a magic sponge dampened with water to gently buff away marks from the foam midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your New Balance 9060 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the mesh and suede layers. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid placing the shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or in the dryer, as this can damage the midsole materials.
- Fit: Ensure the UK size 2.5 is appropriate for the child's foot by checking for a thumb-width of space between the toe and the front of the shoe.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the black and grey materials.
